As the semester dwindles down and the finals pile up, there's one one thing left for Greek life to do, semi-formal. Semi-formal basically is code for the last hooray of the semester, which means Standards will soon be on break, so drink as much as you want because the semester is over so there's no socials to be ban from.

The timeline of a classic sratty semi-formal is pretty basic...

1) Find a date, because who else is going to carry your phone and ID all night? Plus photos are so much cuter with a date.

2) The dress. Hours are spent online shopping during lectures for the dress that will make even your drunk self look sorta classy. The basic ending for your dress will be either covered in vodka, or laying on someone's floor.

3) Pregame. But first, pregame the pregame. Your date isn't exactly boyfriend material, you only invited him for the arm candy in pics, so drink up before you meet up.

4) The real preparation - the pregame. Take a million photos first so you have some great ones to insta before you're too much of a mess. Then chug as much as you can, when your friends try to take away your drink , drink double. 

5) The actual semi - arrive just minutes before the doors are closed, cutting in front of freshmen who have yet to earn their superiority. Make it to the dance floor just to twirl around once or twice and make it known you were there.

6) This phase is up to you - either be the drunk mess who gets escorted out, the date who ditches their date, or the chick surpassing first base with her boy on the dance floor. Whichever you pick - do it big.

7) What happens after semi...stays after semi   - well no, because if you did it right you'll be too blackout to remember, and those that weren't , will pretend.

This classy formal event isn't done right unless you make a mistake or two, drink too much for your own good, or fake your drunk level...
